India's urban land policy and development finance / edited by R. C. Sharma

India's Urban Land Policy and Development Finance places pertinent focus on the question of Urban Land Policy of India and analyse various issues pertaining to the urban land as a resource for a proper development planning and balanced urban growth,
specially in the context of million plus cities. It has taken up the challenge of highlighting the woes of the local bodies which continue to be badly hit by inadequate financial resources and remain in a dilemma of inactivity, limited funds, and corruption. The question which this book has raised is that whether one should opt for public or private or cooperative measures to create a
functionally ideal urban life or for a meaningful mixed of both. Delhi Development Authority model deserves to be applied in the case of others or is there a better model to solve the question of urban development, specially in relation to urban housing, urban land and planning. For the first time a major focus is placed on Urban land and necessary regulatory policy and finance.
